Interview firing squad

I had an interview recently.

I interviewed with one individual last week (male--high up within the company) with whom I had a great interview with, very professional, basically was a conversation the entire time about job experience, what I am looking for, etc.

Then I had an interview with a female, high up in the company. She was like A FIRING SQUAD. So many questions,....boom boom boom! Like rapid fire. I have noticed (upon thinking of past interviews, not with a pre conceived notion) that it seems to be the female CEO/executive/management types that tend to be.....super tough? firing squad? aggressive? I don't know how to explain it....while the males I have interviewed with have not seemed this way. Maybe it is all in my head.

I am not trying to gender stereotype, just wondering if I am the only one who has experienced this. I should note that I approach each individual in the interview with professional respect regardless of title or gender, and always interact professionally with all persons.

I haven't, and I've been going on job interviews since the earth was cooling.

i've only had two nursing jobs so i've yet to experience this (hopefully i wont)! my first nursing job the nursing manager knew me because i was a student nurse and did my month long capstone there.

for my second job i was intereviewed by the director and another nurse (we work side by side now) and it was decent. it wasn't like a firing squad or anything. (:
